Neurofibromatosis

Overgrowth of neural tissue, also affecting the skin. The disease can be confined to a relative small area, or occur generalized. With the craniofacial area, neurofibromatosis can have a major affect on vision, motor function of the face, and esthetic aspect. Surgical intervention focus on restoring function and esthetics, but recurrence of neurofibromatosis is expected, requiring repeated interventions.
